The Prodigies War-Chapter 2621 Watch with Folded Arms

On the contrary, the members of the Heng Clan had been getting on Wanrou’s nerves with their behaviors.

Some of them hosted wild gatherings where they made loud noise while drinking and singing, which Wanrou tolerated.

Some indulged in sexual pleasures night after night, which she also tolerated.

Some clamored for the ship to stop for a while whenever they arrived at a new place just to see some friends. Wanrou...still tolerated it.

However, someone actually practiced sword training on the ship without any restraint. The high metallic clangs reached every corner, and the outsweeps of sword qi even rattled the restrictions on the ship. Not a moment of peace could be had.

Wanrou was unable to tolerate this.

The one practicing the sword was Heng Xinghai, the leader of the Heng group. Suffice to say, he was obsessed with the sword dao, spending all of his free time on honing his skills. If this were anywhere else, Wanrou might have admired him, but it was nothing but irritating when it was on her ship.

She had personally asked him to exercise some restraint so that he at least wouldn’t disturb the peace of the entire ship. Who would have thought that Heng Xinghai would continue to act as before, not taking her request into consideration at all?

How could she not be vexed?

In comparison, Lin Xun, who had been staying in his room since the moment he stepped onto the ship, was undoubtedly much more likable.

“Miss, something needs your immediate attention,” an anxious voice suddenly rang outside Wanrou’s room.

Alarmed, Wanrou said, “Come in.”

A maid pushed the door in and hurriedly reported, “Miss, it’s happening near Mister Shi’s room. Young Master Heng Xingwen insisted on making Runyue drink with him. She refused, but he flew into a rage and refused to let her go. He’s close to using violence now!”

Wanrou stood up, her face as cold as frost, “This guy has no scruples!”

Heng Xingwen was the one who had been spending every waking moment indulging in sexual pleasures. His three female escorts did indescribable things day and night, and the noise they made could turn the place into a chicken yard that was visited by a fox.

It would be fine if this was all that happened because those unsightly scenes and sounds were limited to Heng Xingwen's room. The restrictive power covering it wouldn’t let them affect other passengers.

However, now that he was extending his evil clutches towards Runyue, it was beyond what Wanrou could tolerate!

Runyue was her personal attendant who was assigned to serve Lin Xun during this trip. When her people were preyed on by an unrestrained, perverted demon like Heng Xingwen, how could she not be furious?

“Uncle Jiao, let's go.” Wanrou immediately left her room.

......

Lin Xun was awakened from his meditation by a voice that was permeated with anger, helplessness, and hesitation.

While the rooms were protected by a restriction, it also isolated the space inside from the outside world. If an unforeseen event occurred to the ship during the flight, those in the rooms wouldn’t be able to sense it right away and could fall into a dangerous situation.

Therefore, the first thing Lin Xun had done when he got to his room was open up a hole in its restrictive cover. This way, he could react immediately when something bad happened.

This was why the angry and helpless voice had caught his attention at once. It belonged to Runyue!

Lin Xun was stunned. On this treasure ship of the Nine Leaf Merchant House, who would be so daring as to act against her? Deploying his spirit sense, he instantly captured what was happening outside.

Bam!

A crisp slap rang out.

Runyue's fair and beautiful face was red and swollen as she stumbled and fell to the ground. Her eyes were brimming with tears, and her face was covered in fury and trepidation, but she didn't dare to resist.

She said in a trembling voice, “We’re on the ship of the Nine Leaf Merchant House, Young Master. Are you insisting on offending our young lady?”

Standing at her opposite was Heng Xingwen, whose handsome face was filled with frost. "So what? You think a mere merchant house has the guts to make an enemy of me over a lowly servant like you?"

Saying that, he seized Runyue with one hand and scanned her curvy figure with a lecherous look in his eyes, “I cultivate the marvelous dao of carnal pleasure. All the women I choose benefit a great deal from doing it with me.”

“I don't want it. No—” Runyue screamed with a horrified expression. “Please, I beg of you, please let me go...”

“No other woman who I’ve ever laid eyes on has dared to refuse me like this,” snorted Heng Xingwen as he grabbed Runyue's arm, wanting to drag her to his room.

Lin Xun frowned. The people of the Heng Clan are actually this unscrupulous?

“Stop!” an icy voice rang out at the critical juncture as Wanrou and Uncle Jiao arrived at the scene.

“Miss Wanrou.” Heng Xingwen showed not a trace of panic. He even turned to Wanrou with a frivolous smile and asked, “Would you like to visit my room as well?”

Wanrou took a deep breath to forcibly suppress her anger and said coldly, “Release Runyue and leave, or don't blame me for not giving the Heng Clan any face.”

Heng Xingwen feigned surprise as his eyes revealed nothing but amusement, “Yo, serious? You’re really thinking of using violence? She’s just a maid.

“Also, I only want to have a heart-to-heart talk and let her experience the wonders of carnal pleasure. As this is my dao, she’ll only benefit endlessly from it, and who knows, she may even take the initiative to beg me to do it with her after this one... Of course, if you're also interested, Miss Wanrou, take this opportunity to join us. With my skill, you’ll get an experience you can never forget. I guarantee that it will only leave you wanting more..."

“Shut up!” Wanrou’s fury was almost spinning out of control, her eyes alarmingly frosty. “I'll only say it one more time, release Runyue and get out of my sight!”

She stressed every word sternly and ruthlessly.

Heng Xingwen raised a brow. Just as he was about to say something back, a clear voice rang out from afar.

“Xingwen, stop it!” A golden-robed Heng Xinghai hurriedly arrived. He first shot Heng Xingwen a fierce glare and then turned to Wanrou with a smile. “This junior brother of mine is an undisciplined playboy who cultivates the dao of carnal pleasure on top of that, so he can’t help but display certain preposterous behaviors. Please forgive him.”

He seemed to be offering an explanation, but there was not one bit of an apologetic look on his face. It was as if he was stating a very normal matter.

Wanrou maintained an icy expression. “Tell him to release Runyue.”

Heng Xinghai reprimanded, "Xingwen, we still have to rely on Miss Wanrou for this trip, how can you do such a thing? Quickly release her!"

“Meh.” Heng Xingwen casually let Runyue go and lamented, “Ugh, the prejudice against the dao of carnal pleasure runs too deep in this world after all. People simply don't understand how magical...the taste of that is.”

“Miss.” Runyue rushed to Wanrou's side like a frightened deer, teary-eyed and shaking like a leaf. It was hard to tell whether she was too emotional or overwhelmed by fear of what could have happened.

“Miss Wanrou, if there is nothing else, we’re going back to our room.” Heng Xinghai laughed brightly.

“Young Master Heng, I hope something like this won't happen again in the future, else I can't guarantee whether or not we’ll run into any perils along the way,” said Wanrou calmly.

Heng Xinghai slightly squinted, then, with a loud laugh, he took Heng Xingwen away with him.

Watching them leave, Wanrou revealed a look of unconcealed disgust. There was a rage in her that had nowhere to vent.

As she looked at Runyue and then at the door of Lin Xun's room that had been shut the whole time, she got more and more upset. Biting her lip, she turned and left.

After getting back to her room, she couldn’t help but complain, “Uncle Jiao, if those people of the Heng Clan continue to make a ruckus, this trip will become a big mess sooner or later!”

Uncle Jiao said hoarsely, “Miss, a bit of impatience can foil a big plan. They still need us to bring them to the Rowdy Demon Sea, so as wanton as they are, they won’t dare to have a falling-out with us. For the time being...we must endure it.”

He also shook his head with a helpless expression.

Wanrou knew that Uncle Jiao was right, but she was unable to dispel the indignance in her heart. She gritted her teeth, “There's also that Shi Yu. It was right outside his room, but he didn’t even make a sound from start to end. To think that I arranged for Runyue to attend to him; he turned out to be such a coward!”

Uncle Jiao sighed, “Being an outsider, it's understandable that he doesn't want to offend the Heng Clan.”

Wanrou looked deeply disappointed and scornful, "My father said that he’s not simple and told me not to neglect him. He even said that I can turn to him for help should I encounter a crisis I can’t resolve. Who would have thought that...he is actually the incompetent kind!"

Uncle Jiao mused, “Master has gone through many great storms in his life, which has given him a pair of discerning eyes that rarely make the wrong judgment of people. Since he said so, he must have detected something extraordinary from Mister Shi.”

After a pause, he gave his advice in a gentle voice, “I don’t think you should act on your emotions, Miss. At the end of the day, the people of the Heng Clan started it. It has nothing to do with Mister Shi, so it’s not fair to criticize him no matter what he did.”

“That’s right, it has nothing to do with him...” Wanrou sounded frustrated. “If I had known this, I wouldn’t have tasked Runyue with serving him. I was wrong to have viewed him differently from the others!”

There was thick disappointment in her voice. Her impression of Lin Xun during the recent days wasn’t bad, and she had even developed some appreciation for him, but every bit of it was gone now.

“Miss, do I continue to serve Mister Shi?” asked Runyue timidly.

“No need!” said Wanrou coldly without thinking. “From now on, just pretend that he doesn’t exist.”

Uncle Jiao sighed, his voice gentle, “Miss...”

Wanrou quickly cut him off, “Uncle Jiao, if you are trying to get me to understand that selfish and spineless fellow, then don't say anything.”

Uncle Jiao could only smile bitterly. In truth, he was also a little upset inside.

They had already made an exception by allowing Shi Yu to travel with them this time. Furthermore, Wanrou had even assigned her personal maid to attend to him on the ship. From beginning to end, they had only shown him hospitality and not a single ounce of negligence.

Even if he didn't appreciate it, what happened just now was right outside his room. How could he just remain indifferent and choose not to do a single thing about it? If anyone else were in their young lady’s shoes, then they would probably be disappointed by him as well...
